Phase Space

Erin Sexton [CA]

Situated between alchemical ritual and lab experiment, with her most recent work “phase space”, Sexton explores human perception in relation to the slow and indifferent time-scale of nature, drawing us through immediacy into contact with the micro-macro cosmos. During the course of the performance, the different phase states of matter will be amplified, oscillated, and expanded through sound, live performance, and microscopy, creating an embodied experience of the space where liquid, crystal, electricity, and flesh coincide. This piece is an extension of Sexton’s “crystalline domain” installation series, initiated while in residence at Studio XX in the Fall of 2012. The artist would like to thank Studio XX for their support.
